To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, AR'rIoDE SELLARI and CARL TRIPPI, citizens of Italy, residing. at Brownsville, Haywood County, State of Ten- 5 nesses, and at .Villisville, Perry County,

State of Illinois, respectively, and TED MAR- TIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brownsville, in the county of Haywood and State of Tennessee, have invented a new and useful Composition of Matter for Use as a Tax, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a composition of matter for use as wax such as employed by shoemakers and others for the purpose of waxing and waterproofing thread, and is a continuation in part of our oopending application filed April 25, 1922, Serial No. 556,4:11.

One of the objects of the invention is to provide an inexpensive composition the parts of which can be mixed readily and which will produce an efficient wax-like composition which will waterproof the thread and preserve it, thus overcoming one of the objections to ordinary solid wax used by shoemakers and others.

VVit-h the foregoing and other objects in view one form of the invention consists of the following ingredients or their equivalents substantially in the proportions stated, to wit: rosin, 6 lbs.; refined cotton seed oil, 14 ounces; spirits of turpentine, 32 ounces.

In mixing the ingredients the rosin is dis- Application filed March 3, 19%. Serial No. 696,707.

solved in the cotton seed oil by heating the mixture. This mixture is then poured into cold water so as to be reduced to a. wax-like composition, this action being facilitated by pulling the mixture as though The wax-like composition and turcandy.

pulling pentine are then placed together in a suita ble vessel heated by water, such for example,

as a double boiler.

This treatment will reduce the mixture to a liquid ready for use.

Although cotton seed oil is used in the preparation heretofore described, it is to be understood that some other vegetable oils may be used such as palm oil, olive oil,

castor oil.
